TRAIN ROBBERS In TEXAS.
Arrangements for Protecting the Railways
An Attempt to Rob Train Thwarted.

AUSTIN, Tex. July Tn view of the recent
daring train robberies in Texas, and in the in
ability of the civic officers arrest the perpetra-
tors and the consequent danger of other robber-
les. Major Waldo, NJ G. Howe and other promi-
nent railway managers were here Tuesday in
consultation with the Governor. A plan was
adopted to give the railroads protection and it
is the opinion of the Governor and the railroad
officials that it will be successful The officials
of each road are to send to the Governor the
names of eight trusty tranmen of each passen-
ger train operated il this State and the Gov
is to have them sworn in as State rangers,
invested with all the authority of rangers on the
regular force. The railroad authorities will arm
them at their own expense.
A telegram from Fort Worth, Tex, says: IAN
attempt was made yesterday to rob the through
express tbs Santa Fe road, between Pendle-
ton and Temple. The telegraph operator at
Pendleton suspected that something was wrong
from the strange actions Of eight men around
the station. he wired the train dispatcher at
Temple just in time to stop tie express train.
An armed posse was speedily raised and the
train proceeded northward Half way between
Pendleton and Temple the train was tagged and
an obstruction was noticed the track. No
sooner had the train stopped than six men at
tempted to board the engine and cars The
posse opened fire on them and one of the robbers
fell and the others fed. The wounded man was
carried off by his companions Officers are still
out hunting for the would be robbers.

TELEGRAPHY AT SEA.
Inventor Thomas Edison's Latest and Most
Wonderful Electrical Discovery.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July Thomas Edison
is here buying electrical apparatus for his labor
Atory at Orange, N. j. He said that he had
Spent over s., ,00O, 900 in experiments Then he
sat down and told about his latest discovery by
which messages can be transmitted from ship to
ship by means of steam whistles operated by
keys very much like the telegraphic instrument
All his experiments so far have been confined to
the waters of the Caloosahatchie, where ne has
succeeded in conveying Ineligible messages
distance of one mile The principle on which
Edison will endeavor to perfect his experiment
Is the remarkable facility afforded by water for
Transmitting sound. Divers in the ocean have
heard the swish of steamers wheels when fif-
teen miles away, and Mr. Edison thinks he can
transmit his message from ship to ship dts
tance OF at least seven miles. He pur poses,
after he has perfected his apparatus. to have
the large ocean steamers equipped with
The steam whistles and transmitters. Under
the water line of each steamer will be a sounder
connected with the captains cabin by thin
transmitting wire running through a tube.
When the captain of one vessel wants to signal
another, he will sit down at his Key board turn
Ehe steam on his whistle. manipulate the keys
and send the message out into the waves that
break against the sounder. This sound will pass
nnbroken from wave to wave until 1t runs up
against the sounder of any vessel that may be
within reach of the volume OF sound. AS
rs the sound waves strike the sounder the
hull or the vessel within reach, the message will
run over the electrical wire to the captains cab
tD, where it will ring electrical bell. An at
lendant will then take down the message as it
sones from the water By means of keys COM
fortably and correctly as though he were sitting
IN telegraph Office.
After the message has been received the cap
tain can swing his vessel around and continue
the message through seven miles more of water
In the same direction until strikes another yes
Bel, when the operation may be again repeated
until the breadth of the ocean has been crossed.
Mr. Edison seems to be confident that his expert
ments will succeed

The Arrest of Mil,iner Cass,

LONDON. July Forty nine Conservative
members have signed a letter to Lord Salisbury
asking him to accept Mr. Matthewss resignation
at once. The Cass is resulting in public
agitation against the bullying and black mailing
of courtessns by the police. The Pail Mall Ga
zette leads the movement by reviving old stories
of the infamy of the police toward outcast
women. The agitation has reached Parliament
and Mr.. Pickersgill has given notice of motion
that it is necessary that inquiry be made into
the administration of the London police, and. in
the Lords, Lord Miltown will question the right
of the police to arbitrarily arrest courtesans.
